Episode Overview

In this episode of Armstrong & Getty, the hosts dive into several pressing social and political issues with their trademark blend of irreverence and insight. The main throughline is a heated discussion about a viral incident at a Phillies game (dubbed “Philly Game Karen”), used as a springboard to explore contemporary ideas about decency, masculinity, and crowd dynamics. The conversation also moves from the psychology of social shaming to the intricacies of global politics—highlighting polling about “Mumdani the Commie” in New York City, and recent developments in France, Argentina, Ukraine, and Israel. Interwoven throughout are moments of humor, cultural observation, and pointed critique about the state of American education and political discourse.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The “Philly Game Karen” Incident

[05:37–14:07; 28:41–29:07]

• Incident Recap:

  • Viral video: A woman demands a home run ball from a father who had just caught it and given it to his son.
  • The dad, after being yelled at, gives the ball to the woman, upsetting his son on his birthday.

• Hosts’ Take:

  • Jack Armstrong: Outraged at the father’s decision, calling it “cowardly” and “emasculating.”

    “So yanking the ball out of your kid's mitt and giving it to the bully, that's how you're going to make the world a better place? Are you effing kidding?” [09:36]

  • Joe Getty: Questions the value of de-escalation in this situation, equating it to capitulating to bullies.

    “If the bully says, give me your lunch money, and you give it to him, it does end it. You're right. Until the next time, obviously.” [09:45]

  • Discussion about viral shaming and the woman being “doxxed” and attacked online; ambivalent about the severity of the pile-on but agree she behaved egregiously.

• Memorable Moments:

  • A blend of biting humor and sharp critique, e.g., “We're going to need your man card, Philly Karen.” [13:52]
  • The segment closes with the suggestion that in today's environment, viral fame (for good or ill) is always fleeting—just “wait until Trump does something or Israel bombs something.” [14:25]

2. Internet Outrage & Shaming

[12:33–14:25; 28:41–29:07]

• The hosts discuss the virality of these moments, the rapid escalation to doxxing and workplace consequences, and the challenge of handling fame or infamy online.
• Joe Getty: Offers practical advice for anyone caught in a social media storm:

  “Go stay at a Holiday Inn under an assumed name for 48 hours... then it'll be over and nobody will ever remember.” [14:25]

3. Global Affairs: France, Argentina, Israel, & Sanctions

[22:18–24:44; 29:10–30:45; 46:18–47:15]

• France: Parliamentary government in chaos after PM ousted for advocating fiscal restraint; broader commentary on unsustainable government spending.

• Argentina: Anxiety over the return of socialist policies, economic free fall following socialist wins:

  “Once you get people addicted to the heroin of socialism, man... they sweat and they crap themselves and they puke a lot to get them off of the heroin of socialism.” [24:20]

• Israel & Hamas: Israel targets Hamas leaders in Qatar—a move criticized in some U.S. media as destabilizing, which the hosts dismiss.

• Trump & Ukraine: Trump reportedly willing to take “significant actions” to end the war in Ukraine, but only if Europeans cooperate fully on sanctions.

4. U.S. Politics: New York City Mayoral Poll

[32:15–37:27]

• Focus on Zoran Mumdani (“Mumdani the Commie”) leading the NYC mayoral race polling:
  • “He continues to have a giant lead at 46% of New York City likely voters, almost half. In second place, scumbag Andrew Cuomo at 24%.” [32:30]
• The hosts analyze demographic breakdowns, express astonishment at high levels of support among both young people and college graduates.
  • “You should be smart enough as a college graduate to not vote for a communist. Of course, you had communist professors who convince you that communism is a good idea.” [33:37]
• Contemplate the “myth of the rational voter” and how economic misconceptions persist across generations.

5. Culture & Consumerism: Cracker Barrel & “Woke” Backlash

[38:01–40:31]

• Discussion on Cracker Barrel’s supposed remodeling and logo change, partly interpreted by some as a “woke” move.
• The hosts argue this is likely not the case, but reflect on broader anxieties about change in American cultural institutions.
• Humor about the “racist Cracker Barrel” stereotype and related experiences.

6. Education Crisis

[44:47–46:18]

• Concern about new negative data from the “nation’s report card,” highlighting the ongoing decline in high school seniors’ academic performance.
• Praise for economist Roland Fryer’s successful turnaround formula for failing schools—lamenting that public education remains a “jobs program, not an educational institution.”

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the Phillies incident:

  “Hell, I rarely go to a game I don't end up in a fight with a middle aged woman. Means nothing to me.” – Jack Armstrong [10:57]

• On education:

  “Schools are now a jobs program. They're not an educational institution anymore.” – Jack Armstrong [46:06]

• On socialism:

  “Once you get people addicted to the heroin of socialism, man... they sweat and they crap themselves and they puke a lot to get them off.” – Jack Armstrong [24:20]

• On New York City mayoral polling:

  “The most monumental gleaming testament to free market capitalism that exists on earth... 60% of the people who live there want a communist.” – Joe Getty [34:38]

Tone & Language

True to Armstrong & Getty style, the episode weaves topical news with opinion, biting humor, and moments of sincere exasperation.

Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Joe Getty]

We got this text. I'm 150 pounds and I eat six prunes with my breakfast cereal every morning. Yeah, clearly I'm not enough. I started at one. I've upped it one per day to try to get to where I want to be. We'll leave it unsaid. And I'm going to three yesterday. No results. So I'll go to four today. But I'm way 190 so it's probably going to require more than that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I'm not an expert in, you know, prunes and their curative powers, but yet one seems like a paltry dosage.

[Joe Getty]

They are so disgusting. No wonder they, they, they, they get mocked in sitcoms my whole life.

[Jack Armstrong]

Have you tried prune juice?

[Joe Getty]

Would that work the same?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, yes, it works. I don't know if it works as well. I just know when I was afflicted with a similar situation post surgery because the damn drugs. Yeah, they had me swinging down prune juice and eating prunes and. Yeah, because they are kind of gross. Yeah, apple's an alternative. Could you eat two, three apples a day?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, easily. Would apples work as well? Prunes, they just, they, they, they seem like one of those depression era foods. Like one of those things people ate when they were so poor. You, you just needed food.

[Jack Armstrong]

There were no apples. Exactly. It's like pig's eyes. No, I don't want to eat any. I've got, it's like hind end to choose from. That was back when people were starving. Right. I tell you what, you eat a couple apples and a bowl full of raisins every day. Please. All right. Please.

[Joe Getty]

Telling you.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's right. So earlier in the show, we were discussing the case of the so called Phillies game. Karen, the aggressive lunatic woman who screeched at a dad because he had grabbed a home run ball that she wanted and given it to his son. And then when she yelled at him for a minute or two, he, in a cowardly and man card losing fashion, handed the ball over to the lunatic and disappointed his lad, who will probably need counseling for the rest of his life.

[Joe Getty]

Well, for anybody who hasn't seen the video, is there any. Did the woman, the crazy woman have any claim to this baseball?

[Jack Armstrong]

No. They're scrambling for a home run ball as people do every single stinking home run since Three Fingers McGee was playing in the dead ball era and he got it and she didn't and declared that because it was near her it was rightfully her ball and screeched at him until he gave it to her in a disgustingly cowardly fashion. I may have suggested earlier in the show that the little boy should go to a baseball game with a real man and dad can attend a fashion show. Well, did you mention curious about the mystery of who actually impregnated the boy's mother? Because surely it wasn't that limp wrist. So perhaps I've been too harsh. Perhaps.

[Joe Getty]

Did we mention this time that it was the kid's birthday too? It's a kid's birthday. Dad gets a home run ball, gives his kid his this ball on his birthday, and he's never gotten a ball.

[Jack Armstrong]

At a ball game before. It was the first. It was the miracle.

[Joe Getty]

Crazy woman comes, yells at him, he recoils with his hands shaking from this.

[Jack Armstrong]

Woman yelling at him like a sitcom character.

[Joe Getty]

What the hell?

[Jack Armstrong]

And just says, all right, take the ball, leave us alone. God, I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

I'd have to move to a different country and change my name. I feel like if this was me and that was a viral video.

[Jack Armstrong]

We played some clips of Fox News, Bill Malugian talking to the guy earlier in which Malluchin was very gentle and understanding and. And granted, this guy was not the bad guy who initiated the ugliness. I just don't appreciate his response. But I'm curious how CBS News approached it. We'll start with the first clip there.

[Joe Getty]

Michael Lincoln Feltwell has been a Philadelphia Philly super fan since he was born.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's celebrating an unforgettable 10th birthday for.

[Joe Getty]

All the right and wrong reasons.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sometimes you need that reset. And Vader just unloads.

[Joe Getty]

Friday night, watching in the stands, his now favorite player on his favorite teams had just hit a homer. And Andrew, his dad, got that baseball. When I put that ball on his glove, I felt like I accomplished something great. The magic lasted just a few seconds. A woman started berating Feltwell, claiming the ball was hers. Just screaming in my face like, vulgar curse words in front of my kids. So I just decided to give her the ball and get it over with. She's a lunatic. So not only was his birthday his favorite player on his favorite team. Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, and in the. You know, I'll just let him speak for himself. Let's skip to 34, Michael, then we'll go back to the clips in order.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

You ultimately decided to give her that ball back.

[Joe Getty]

And I've been reading some of the interview interviews you've done. You want to, you know, teach your.

[Jack Armstrong]

Son a lesson on de escalation, which I think is a great lesson to teach these days. Do you have any regrets about giving.

[Joe Getty]

It back to her, though? No. I think they'll. World could use a little extra de escalation. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

Every.

[Joe Getty]

Everything's so tense. The world is pretty crazy, and.

[Washable Sofas Advertiser]

I.

[Joe Getty]

Don'T want to do anything like that in front of my son or on camera. It was tough giving the ball back, but it ended that situation.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, go ahead. That's enough. So yanking the ball out of your kid's mitt and giving it to the bully, that's how you're going to make the world a better place? Are you effing kidding?

[Joe Getty]

Did end it. Yes. If the bully says, give me your lunch money, and you give it to him, it does end it. You're right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Until the next time, obviously.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right, let's. Let's get back to cbs because it takes a nice turn.

[Joe Getty]

It's what happened next that made a bad situation beautiful. Lincoln. Lincoln and his dad were invited to meet Harrison Bader, who signed a bat for him. What was it like for you to get the bat? It was really, really cool just even meeting him.

[Jack Armstrong]

And then the final clip.

[Joe Getty]

Michael, I kind of refuse to take any involvement in bashing her. The Internet is taking care of that situation by itself. I don't want to be that person in front of my kids. I appreciate that. Yeah, that's an interesting thing. Like I've said, I could see if I was by myself because I don't really give A crap if I got a baseball or not. If I'm by myself, hey cool, I got a ball. And this crazy idiot comes over and just keeps screaming I'm like here, go away. I might do that. But setting an example for my son, no way I would be rolling around on the steps with her in a fight before I'm going to give her the ball back just because she says I should. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

Hell, I rarely go to a game I don't end up in a fight with a middle aged woman. Means nothing to me. Yeah, I know. And you know, you could argue I'm, I'm trying to. I always like to, you know, test my arguments. If I were going to argue against me, I would say Jesus probably would have told him give her the ball.

[Joe Getty]

Then, Doc. Is that what Jesus would have said?

[Jack Armstrong]

And dox her on the Internet. Exactly. Call her employer. No. And, and trust in the Lord. And then the result of all this is the kid gets to meet his favorite player. He gets the bat. There's some company that's given the the boy and Camping World limp wristed dad. Camping World has given the boy and his quasi dad World Series tickets. So you could make the argument.

[Joe Getty]

Oh geez.

[Jack Armstrong]

That, that. Yeah, I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

I feel like.

[Jack Armstrong]

Drop us a Note [e-mail] you will be the jury. Or if you'd like to text, that's more your speed. 415295 KFTC.

[Joe Getty]

I feel like you saying who actually impregnated your wife because it couldn't have been you is too far. I feel like that was too far.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll. I'll reconsider my words.

[Joe Getty]

So the Internet has gone after her though like the ruining her life. Which good. She's a bad person. Or she's probably nuts.

[Jack Armstrong]

But yeah, probably nuts and utterly unfamiliar with the dynamics of when a ball is in the stands. Well, first person to get a firm grasp on it owns it. Until then it's anybody's ball.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and that aside, again, I'm by myself. I might give the ball. Probably would to the 10 year old on his birthday because I'm a grown up, I don't need a ball.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, actually that's, that's always my plan. I'm gonna find some cute little kid near me and give him the ball.

[Joe Getty]

God, that's weak. So she's there yelling at dad in front of his kids. I mean she's a lunatic, a complete loon. Which I guess is part of his argument. She's demonstrating that she's a loon. So I was just trying to get it to go away. I would not have done what he did. But.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right. Again, I'm going to test my argument. If she had the eyes of the maniac and it would have been an ugly situation where dad is forced to put a woman's lights out to protect himself and his son, would that be traumatizing enough for the boy?

[NFL Shop Advertiser]

No.

[Joe Getty]

I couldn't have made myself. I couldn't have made myself give the ball back in front of my son. I just. Good enough. It's too emasculating.

[Jack Armstrong]

Take it out of his mitt. Wow. And give it back to her. Wow. Again. We're going to need your man card, Philly.

[Joe Getty]

Karen.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sorry.

[Joe Getty]

She might actually have to change her name. I'll bet it's been pretty rough for her.

[Jack Armstrong]

I assume people have figured out who.

[Joe Getty]

She is cuz they going after employer and friends.

[Jack Armstrong]

I haven't followed that end of it at all. Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

The world is so crazy right now and will be forever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh good.

[Joe Getty]

The thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Goodbye.

[Joe Getty]

If you ever end up in one of these situations, you just kind of like go stay at a Holiday Inn under an assumed name for 48 hours, maybe 72 in rare cases. And then it'll be over and nobody will ever remember it that it ever happened. You just got to weather that couple of days of this is our entertainment for the next few days. You just got to get past that till Trump does something or Israel bombs something or whatever and. And then you're off the hook.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yeah. Check into one of those places. That's a little sweet for a week. Be good to yourself. Hide out from the Internet.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fuel it.

[Joe Getty]

Check in under E. Pressley. Keep your head down and.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that's another aspect of the modern era that sucks. You can't check in under a funny assumed name anymore.

[Joe Getty]

I know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Unless you're a celeb. Then they'll do it as a courtesy for you. But you got to show them your ID because you might be what, Osama bin Laden or something?

[Joe Getty]

What?

[Jack Armstrong]

What is it with hotels? Who you care who I am? I'm gonna sleep here. I'm gonna leave. You got my credit card number.

[Joe Getty]

By the way. We'll tease this. Our One More Thing podcast is going to be interesting today. We'll tell you about that among other things on the way. Stay here.

[Joe Getty]

Charlie Sheen is set to release his new memoir, though there's a good chance that what you already know about Charlie Sheen is more than he remembers. Yeah, Charlie Sheen wrote a memoir. And there's a Netflix Netflix special documentary interview thingy. We've got some clips from an interview he did with Good Morning America that we'll use in the One More Thing podcast that I thought was actually kind of interesting about how his dad intervened and how off the rails he was and et cetera.

[Jack Armstrong]

Seemed pretty off the rails.

[Joe Getty]

I was. I distinctly remember a Friday where I predicted Charlie Sheen will be dead when we come back on Monday. Because I thought that's what was going to happen, right? If you don't remember that whole crazy period. New CBS poll out about Trump's tariffs. Now it's all about how you ask the question. I don't know exactly how they worded the question, but I don't think it's probably far off of this. 61% of people oppose new tariffs. Of course, if you barely pay attention, you take in through mainstream media. It's all negative reporting. So how would you come to Any other conclusion? 71% say tariffs increase prices. That's because they do. And about two thirds say Trump's policy is increasing U.S. grocery prices. That's 2/3. Overall, it's only 31% of Republicans that say that, although that's a fairly high number given the fact that he has a about a 90% approval rating among Republicans.

[Jack Armstrong]

The.

[Joe Getty]

It'll be one little indication, maybe today when Apple has their big always in September unveiling of new products, the new iPhone 17. If there's a big jump in price because of tariffs, that will be the new story out of the Apple thing. That will, that will obliterate anything about the new camera or anything on the iPhone. If it's all about, look what the tariffs did to the cost of an iPhone.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, groceries is interesting. I, I would think most of that would be indirect costs rising, although I guess we import a fair amount of produce from Mexico. But I think it'll show itself in, in consumer goods more than groceries. But I'd rather, I've continued to predict that we will really feel this in October, November, whatever is going to happen.

[Joe Getty]

Fits right before Christmas.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yikes. Well, and the Supes are going to take a look at it too. Amy Cooney Barrett's making the rounds these days, but she didn't even as I recall, she's not even sure it's on the schedule yet, but they'll be dealing with it at some point. Speaking of governments and finance and that sort of thing, I was just. We talked a great deal earlier about France, how the government is a parliamentary system, but the government has collapsed and they're kicking out yet another prime minister because the guy said, look, we're spending ourselves to death. We've got to roll back programs, we've got to cut our or just keep our spending at the current level. We can't grow it anymore. We are going to go completely broke. And for that he was heaved out on his ear.

[Joe Getty]

And in his speech he said, you can get rid of me, but you can't. You can change me, but you can't change reality. Which is a good parting shot.

[Jack Armstrong]

Meanwhile, in formerly socialist Peronist Argentina, where Javier Milei has been working such miracles by using the free market, all the people who are benefiting from the socialism, whether it's the fat cats or, or just the people who'd gotten used to the government handouts in spite of the incredible success of that some there was a big like the the off year election and the Kirchnerist party that's the old socialist guys did really well in some of their provincial elections and the market has gone into a free fall in Argentina. The Argentine currency collapsed against the dollar. Investors are panicking because they fear the wind means a return to heavy government spending money printing less market friendly policies. The economy might just plots because the economy and people who like our free market guys see the return of the socialist guys as just an utter disaster. It is so hard. Once you get people addicted to the heroin of socialism, man. Well they shake and they sweat and they and they crap themselves and they puke a lot to get them off of the heroine of socialism. It's amazing and troubling crap themselves. It happens.

[Joe Getty]

Maybe one less prune. Yeah taper back.

[Jack Armstrong]

Don't do drugs kids. And don't do socialism either. But the kids lap it up when you know Mumdani the commie makes his lovely promises.

[Joe Getty]

They got a focus group of Trump supporters going on on CNN right now around the whole Epstein thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh goodness.

[Joe Getty]

What a couple of them said are kind of interesting. Among other things on the way Armstrong.

US electric grid is approaching a breaking point as demand soars from data centers and home energy use. Our aging infrastructure can't keep up, and the Department of Energy warns that without action, blackouts could surge 100 fold by 2030. The good news? One solution is already here. Propane. It's American made, stored on site and always ready. Powering homes and businesses with cleaner, reliable and energy that doesn't depend on the grid or the weather.

[Joe Getty]

Learn [e-mail] the Internet doesn't always get it right, but sometimes it does. The karma on this Philadelphia Karen woman. Whoo. That is a heaping, helping dose of Internet karma. I mean, all of the meme goodness that can exist in the world is directed at that woman and she deserves it.

[Jack Armstrong]

She's a horrible human being or nuts or something.

[Joe Getty]

She's clearly crazy. So a couple updates on a few things before we get to the latest polling on Mumdami, the commie which is super interesting. Just out like the last hour. So Israel targeted Hamas's senior leadership in a strike in Qatar. In Doha, Qatar, a major modern city. They hit with missiles in a residential building where they believe they took out some of the leadership of Hamas. And Netanyahu just put out a joint statement saying that he had full support of the entire Israeli war cabinet. Everybody was on board with this because of not only do the leaders of Hamas still say, yeah, we were behind October 7th two years ago and we hope to do it again. They took responsibility yesterday from that attack two days ago and I supported it. Yeah, I thought that might just be a nut job on his own. But they took responsibility for that and said, yeah, we're all in favor and.

[Jack Armstrong]

We hope there's more.

[Joe Getty]

And so Netanyahu said, okay, well that's enough of you. And those people who said that might be dead now.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it became infinitely clear that the so called peace process doesn't exist. Saw this headline in the New York Times. Ridiculous Israeli strikes targets strike targets Hamas leadership in Qatar. The Gulf nation of Qatar has been trying to negotiate a ceasefire in the conflict. The attack threatens to destabilize those peace efforts. How?

[Joe Getty]

What a bunch of crap that is. You know what's most destabilizing to the effort? The fact that Hamas is still attacking and refusing to give back the hostages. Good lord. All right, there's that story. CNN just had a little focus group of hardcore Trump supporters talking about the Epstein thing. And I just saw a woman up there saying the biggest disappointment to her of Trump being reelected is that he's can that he's helping covering up the Epstein thing. This gets to what you're always talking about. They are talking about CNN and the person asking the question are talking about a completely different Epstein story than that woman is. That woman is talking about. I guarantee I don't know this, but I guarantee you she's talking about the child trafficking sex ring that she thinks is in the Epstein files and that Trump isn't releasing because it doesn't exist. CNN is asking about the Epstein files that are about who Epstein flew on the plane with and all that sort of stuff. They're talking about two different things, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

And some people are talking about was Epstein the only guy who is touching underage girls? Let's see the list. It says, you know, There are like 11 different variations but everybody just says the Epstein files or the Epstein thing. Right?

[Joe Getty]

Now this poll just out on Zoran Mamdani, the communist, probably going to be mayor of New York City.

[Jack Armstrong]

Thank you for pronouncing it correctly. Mandani.

[Joe Getty]

He continues to have a giant lead at 46% of New York City likely voters, almost half. In second place, scumbag Andrew Cuomo at 24. So roughly half the support. And then it drops way down into single digits for a bunch of people you probably don't know. But you break it down by different demographics. Men and women fairly evenly split age. Not surprising. The communist has three quarters of the young people. Wow, 18 to 29s. But he has a third of 65 plus. You are old enough to know better. And a third of 65 plus are willing to vote for the communists.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Break it down by race. It's about 40 some percent of white, 40 some percent of black, 47% of Hispanic, then 70% of other. What do you have left after white, black and Hispanic, Asian and.

[Jack Armstrong]

Whoever else, Russians, European.

[Joe Getty]

Breakdown by education bothers me. 30% of people that no college degree. 30%, that's his lowest number. 60% of people that went to college want to wanna. You should be smart enough as a college graduate to not vote for a communist. Of course, you had communist professors who convince you that communism is a good idea.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's what college is now. It's like, you know, school exists mostly to indoctrinate the kids into progressive thinking. And colleges too. They will teach you engineering on the side if you're in that program. And you'll probably learn a little something about whatever topic you're, you know, studying. But you're mostly there to be indoctrinated.

[Joe Getty]

And then you break it down by the burrows because you're mayor of all of these areas. He gets 36% in Brooklyn or 50% in Brooklyn, 36% in the Bronx, 38% in Queens, 26% Staten island, none of that matters. Manhattan, it's almost 60%.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

The, the. The most monumental gleaming testament to free market capitalism that exists on earth, really. New York City, where Wall street is located. 60% of the people who live there want a communist.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. You know, for the millionth time, I'll make a reference to the book the Myth of the Rational Voter. Because the premise of the book is that in economic issues, topics like rent control is a good one or greedy corporations shouldn't make a profit.

[Joe Getty]

There wouldn't be crime if there weren't cops.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, right. But in economic discussions, people get it wrong in ways that are far beyond chance. The misperception of what rent control would do, for instance, is much more common among the average voter. Than the correct perception of. Of what it would do. Again, in a way that's way beyond numbers that are way beyond chance. For some reason, the average person who hasn't thought about it much, hasn't studied it, hasn't been taught, gets economics wrong a lot. And that's what we're seeing with Mandani. Mom, sorry, I got your name wrong. Zo Ron. And it's troubling that that lie, that scam, can be sold over and over again to each new generation and to that 30% of soft heads who just never wise up in their lives. Zorron Mandani.

[Joe Getty]

Now, I did hear a smart person say. I remember it was one of your smart, like a David Axelrod or somebody smart Democrat who understands this stuff. And he's not a Mumdani fan. But his thing was that it's kind of similar to Trump in that, like, Trump was addressing the issues people cared about. We gotta do something about the freaking border. And maybe you thought, but as a Trump supporter then and now, he goes too far. He says things too strong, but at least he does something about it. That. That might be what's happening with Bomb Donnie. He's just saying the rent's too high. Nobody can afford this. The rent is too damn high. And you might not like his solution or you think he goes too far, but he's the only one that's like, really saying, this can't continue.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I would put it more strongly. He's offering solutions that are exactly the opposite of the solutions. But I think Axelrod makes a great point. It's a really good point.

[Joe Getty]

You gotta. You gotta grab people by the issues they care about and, you know, convince them that you actually care about them too.

[Jack Armstrong]

It reminds me of that conspiracy silence in Europe that we've been talking about on and off, where the major parties literally, in some cases agreed that we won't talk about immigration. Right. Let's just pretend it's not at the root of these problems. And it drove people into the arms of, like, the AfD in Germany and Nigel Farage's party in. In England and Marine Le Pen and her handsome protege in France. If you don't address people's actual concerns. Yeah. They will go elsewhere for their solutions.

[Joe Getty]

It's breaking news everywhere that Cracker Barrel is not going to remodel their restaurants.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, my God. Story.

[Joe Getty]

I know, it's. Well, I don't. Were you here or not? You might not have been here. So we ate at Cracker Barrel. Did you hear my Cracker Barrel?

[Jack Armstrong]

Stories I've heard some Cracker Barrels.

[Joe Getty]

I don't think you did. From my trip to Kansas and Iowa. Did you hear those?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't remember the key takeaway. I think I did.

[Joe Getty]

Well, first of all, that we had to wait so long to get in because clearly they got like $8 billion worth of free advertising. But none of the people in my group, all of us who had eaten a Cracker Barrel so many times, could have told you at all that there was some dude on the Loco. None of us.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, right, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

It's not like he was a beloved character that meant so much to our childhoods. None of us could have told you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, there's a guy removing the statue of Lincoln because he wasn't woken off. Right, right.

[Joe Getty]

We'd all said, all said when we heard it first was there's a guy in the logo. I don't know, I've never looked at the logo.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's just kind of a hard to.

[Joe Getty]

Even tell what it was. Something there next to the name Cracker.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right? Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

It's funny. And it got turned into the. You're taking Uncle Jesse or Harold or whatever his name is off a logo. How dare you.

[Jack Armstrong]

And, well, how it evolved is interesting and, and you know, I haven't spent a lot of time on it, but the perception that it was some sort of woke politically correct thing, that they were remodeling the cracker barrels and changing the, the look of the restaurants and you know, the logo and stuff. And, and I'm not sure that it was.

[Joe Getty]

I'm not sure it was either.

[Jack Armstrong]

In fact, I think it wasn't. But, but there's something going on there that's worth thinking about. Is it that every other damn institution has fallen, you know, to the woke ax a little or a lot. And people are just now a traditional, you know, patriotic middle America. America is saying, no, no, some slick new woman CEO is not going to change our beloved Cracker Barrel. It must be more of the woke crap.

[Joe Getty]

My brother with his endless jokes about how racist Cracker Barrel is. We were playing the little triangle game. Yep, that's what we used to do while the slaves were in the field. Played this little triangle game because it's all so stupid. Yes. Okay. We will finish strong.

I gotta admit, I kind of like.

[Jack Armstrong]

The way Gutfeld baits his audience into yelling at him. Oh, that's terrible, you idiot. Wow.

[Joe Getty]

You know, we should have redone the story about the nation's report card that came out today and how our seniors can't read or do math. And it's worse. It keeps getting worse, down 10 points since 1992 in terms of proficiency for reading, I think it was. But that, that's just stunning.

[Jack Armstrong]

Covid accelerated the decline, but it was declining before and has continued to decline after.

[Joe Getty]

And you look at the chart and it doesn't look like it didn't. Wasn't that far out of where we were headed anyway. Nope.

[Jack Armstrong]

And everybody knows why. Anybody who's paying attention knows why. But people aren't willing to do anything about it. We talked about that at fair length. Hour two of the show, Is that right? Yeah, our two. If you missed it, subscribe, you ought to subscribe to Armstrong and Getty on demand. It included a discussion of, let's see, where is that? I think I may have closed the window already. Oh, no, there it is. Absolutely brilliant work done by the economist Roland Fryer, who literally came up with formula to turn around failing schools, implemented it, and it was stunningly successful. Public schools in Houston, it took a lot of getting rid of administrators and teachers who were just union hacks, but it worked beautifully and successfully. And nobody has any, any interest in it because schools are now a jobs program. They're not an educational institution anymore. They're a jobs program.

[Joe Getty]

Want to touch on this before we get done? Trump met with some of his European counterparts yesterday to discuss the whole Russia, Ukraine thing, and according to reporting from someone who was in the meeting and spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Trump is willing to exert significant actions to end the war, but expects full cooperation from the European partners in whatever actions are taken. The meeting was only two hours long. Need for collective action on whatever is determined on sanctions and how to manage blah, blah, blah. But Trump seems to be all in. As long as you guys are doing it too.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not buying oil.

[Joe Getty]

You're gonna have the tariffs like we are. We're all gonna stick with this. I'm in. That's what this reporting is.

[Jack Armstrong]

So that is not unreasonable.

[Joe Getty]

No, it's not. Absolutely not. But man, the heavy hammer of economic sanctions might be coming down soon.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, he's gonna call him out is messed up.

[Joe Getty]

He's gonna call him out if they don't stick with it too and not let him slide back during when we we'd put these heavy sanctions on Saddam Hussein before we went in France would be behind their back doing all kinds of stuff with Iraq. Our so called friend. That's why I call them freedom fries.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, that's reasonable. I, I, I had a conversation the other day with a friend who, we were talking about a mutual friend who speaks pretty fluent French and he really enjoyed being in France. And we were talking the inevitable conversation about how Americans, most of us are monolingual and it's a shame. And you know, look at the Europeans. They know multiple languages. It's because they have to. And honestly, if Euros lived in a giant prosperous country that was surrounded by gigantic oceans, you know, on both sides, they wouldn't know any languages either now. And, and you know, it's true because it's kind of cool and fun to be able to speak multiple languages. But the upsides of the Atlantic in the Pacific keeping all those people away from us dwarf the downsides by about 50,000 to 1.

[Joe Getty]

All right, that whole, you know, multiple languages, good for you. I mean, it's necessity, the fact that it's an immediate sign of sophistication and intelligence. Whatever. Go away.

[Jack Armstrong]

[Joe Getty]

Here's your host for final Thoughts, Joe Gettysburg.

[Jack Armstrong]

Look at a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap up the show. Michelangelo, our technical director, will lead the way. Michael, what's your final thought? Okay, if I'm the dad of that kid with the baseball, I go out and I start taking up martial arts training. I buy a big truck, I, I fight somebody just to make myself look like him, look like a man borrow some balls from somebody. Yes, a good plan. Katie Green is off. She will be back soon and we can't wait. Jack, a final thought for us.

[Joe Getty]

I don't think Apple's announcing any new products today, but updates to their old products, including a new lighter iPhone because we all had been struggling to hold our iPhones in our hands.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that was my most of my back problems. The weight of the iPhone just cranked my spine out of out of shape. My final thought is I will be going through the emails about the infamous Philly Karen lady and the dad who gave the ball up and collecting your points of view and we will share them with you tomorrow on the program. I'm curious to see which way the sentiments run.

[Joe Getty]

I like the memes where she's Gollum with her precious baseball.
